Good Earth - Great
for Christmas
The Vegetarian Society
is pleased to approve the Good Earth Catalogue. Good Earth products are
manufactured in a small village in the north of Sweden. First developed
for healing purposes, the range now includes a comprehensive selection
of health, beauty and pet care products as well as a selection of natural
remedies.
Neither Good Earth products nor their ingredients are tested on animals
and the entire range is accredited by the Vegetarian Society.
Good Earth is also
concerned about environmental impact and therefore uses only raw materials
from renewable resources, cultivated without the use of artificial fertilisers,
chemicals and pesticides. They are grown in kitchen gardens, picked from
the wild or sourced from small farms. This ethically minded company goes
to great lengths to source the best possible eco-friendly packaging so
you can be sure that all your environmental concerns are taken into consideration
when you use the Good Earth Catalogue.

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘approved
trademark ‘ was
established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised
and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world.
The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail
food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and
toiletries.
The strength of the
symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria:
- Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and
crustacea.
- Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or
animal fat.
- Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.
- Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested
on animals since 1986.
- Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as
these are likely to have been tested on animals.
- The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between
vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production.
No other symbol
gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from
the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.
The Vegetarian Society
is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent
voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
